    DATA LOGGER

    Which version are you using? Use 1.22 beta if you aren't already. 

    Can you try connecting to the vehicle first then loading the layout and see if that helps? 

    There are some known bugs we are working on here. Datalogger is still very much in a beta phase.

    Edit: that file is empty so something definitely went wrong with saving it. Are you able to upload your logs via the help menu and then send us an email with the approximate time/date you saved the layout? 

    I am using 1.22 Beta, I shall try to send the logs

    You can also save/load logging layouts (only saves the checked variables currently) via the file -> Save log layout and Load log layout in the latest beta.

    Hi, I have a question about how to load a layout after saving it.

    How do you do it? lol

    I have used File/load layout and select a layout file but the loaded file is not what I saved

    It seems to save correctly or it goes through the process at least but I can't retrieve the file back again

    I have included a saved layout that just has some changes to Speed Density, I can't tell if it has been saved properly or not but what is loaded is just blank as in no changes show up

    Thanks

    Speed Density Tuning

    Try silly numbers like adding 25% or subtracting 25% and see what happens.

    Remember that this guide assumes your injectors are appropriately scaled.

    Ok, thankyou.

    The injectors are stock as far as I know

    Cheers

    Speed Density Tuning

    Hi, I have a question regarding the calculation to increase the calculated air mass in order to get extra fuel, this calculation is based on the commanded lambda being less than the actual lambda. So if in the case where the commanded is more than the actual lambda, it may be obvious but i'm just checking if I simply do the inverse when calculating?

    In other words where the equation says to multiply I would divide?

    Cheers

    Different ECU's

    Hi, will pcmtec sofyware allow to tune the Haltec Elite ecu that is for the Ford?

    As you may know, they put out a direct swap ecu, but as well as that they have software that goes with it apparently, but I'd like to use pcmtec cause it's something I paid for and am learning how to use.

    Cheers

    open loop fuel control

    Richard you certainly can. Open loop transition for the Australian Fords happens when the driver requests more power and Closed loop fuel control is exited. The criteria for exiting Open loop is based on Throttle Position (TP) via table auF0523. This is the default value for my car were:

    image.thumb.png.e521db52cca86a00ebfa0a5a485d636c.png

    Which on a turbo car with any modifications Closed Loop fuel control at reasonable high levels of boost (10psi in my case) which I was not happy with.  A/D counts are throttle position in Analogue Digital counts with values varying between 0 and 1023. Think of 0 as closed throttle and 1023 representing the throttle blade full open. You can check your tune but  the PCM considers Wide Open Throttle (WOT) as being around 590 A/D counts. To improve this my tune was changed to:

    image.thumb.png.336b53f62a91c219ea6a8e2725e79f38.png

    You can edit this table to get the transition to occur at what throttle position you want.

    Delay Time

    The Australian Falcons have a delay timer/ramp that controls the transition form Closed loop to open Loop. For the turbo car most tuners change these scalar auF0158 to around 0.5:

    image.thumb.png.bc8aa539466ae9267e2da500734cfe55.png.

    This allows for quick transition from Closed Loop to Open Loop[ fueling.

    Ford of Australia seems to zero out the Open Loop Delay table so that does not play a part in the decision making for the PCM.

    I'm a bit confused with this info, if the pcm takes the value of 590 as WOT, why does your transition table show the value of 100 at 6000 rpm, asuming that you would be at WOT at 6000 rpm?

    Cheers

    How many do you have selected?, what version are you running?. Mine is logging heaps it’s just a pain having to unselect a 100 ticked box’s every time you re-open the logger.

    I'm running the latest beta. I have selected probably 5 out of only about 10 to 15. I expected to see more available pids. I have only had a brief look at it so far though

    Yes, PCM will run off the open loop fuel table when warm, in that situation. I have done that many times. PCM continues to receive and act on ECT and IAT. It often uses a weighted average of these two temps in it’s warmup tables.

     

    Ok thanks for that

    Can you give us some context?

    Hi, well typically I can't find the post/s at the moment but if I come across something I'll get back to you.

    But apart from that is it fair to say that the word "boost" wouldn't be used if talking about an n/a?

    Cheers Roland

     

    Unit Converter and OSS/Gear Calculator

    We now have a new Unit Converter and OSS (output shaft speed)/ Gear Calculator. Dynamic units will be coming soon as well!

    The gear wizard seen below will automatically load the values from your tune. This makes calculating OSS (output shaft speed) easy for those of your who are tuning the ZF.

    This is also useful for working out optimal wheel height for a given top speed at the drags.

     

    Hi, I have come back to this for another read and have noticed that this gear wizard is able to pull the relevant data from the tune, is this done automatically?

    Hi, i might be off topic here but i have a newbie question about boost.

    I have been reading what i can about na engines, but the word boost seems to come up a lot, is it still relating to na?

    If so, what or where is this boost they are referring to?

    Thanks in advance

    same tables as hp tuners?

    That's because the Falcon doesn't have a MAF. It uses speed density only. Read the speed density thread for more information on tuning the airflow model.

    Ahhh ok, that explains that.

    Yeah i have been trying to come to grips with the speed density tuning

    Thx
